Constable Phil Reed said the inspection will be an “ongoing blitz during the year.” Only 10 of the taxis passed without fault.Three cabs were in such bad condition the plates were removed and the taxis towed away. Five others had major defects and were impound- ed until repairs were completed. The blitz was held at the po- lice station in Pickering. Also tak- ing part in the initiative were the Ajax and Pickering bylaw depart- ments and the provincial Trans- portation Ministry. Story page 3. Flooding threat brings warning Conservation authorities here are reminding Durham residents of the risk of flooding at local streams, rivers, ponds and lakes as spring approaches. “With spring quickly ap- proaching, we look forward to warmer weather and being out- doors. Spring weather also brings us melting snow, rain and the break up of ice along our rivers, streams, ponds and lakes,” states a news release issued by the Central Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Authority (CLOCA) on behalf of six conservation authorities in the Greater Toronto Area. CLOCA also reports, “The snow pack is currently quite dense with an average water equivalent of five inches.This amount of water is higher than average from the past few years, at this time.Therefore, the main threat of flooding is from a period of extended mild temperatures accompanied by rain producing a quick melt.” The conservation authorities are asking residents to exercise caution around any body of water. For more information call your local conservation authority. A.J.

EDUCATION Unions official says criminal checks ‘extreme disruption’to teachers Checks a safety tool BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Criminal background checks for teachers and other school workers will begin in September, Education Minister Janet Ecker announced this week. The checks are part of the Province’s Safe Schools Act, passed by the Ontario legisla- ture nine months ago. Roughly 200,000 people employed in Ontario schools are affected, and they will have to pay for their own criminal background check through local police services. The checks will be phased in over a two-year period and are to re- veal any criminal convictions. “We recognize that a vast majority of teachers and school staff have earned and deserve the respect of their stu- dents,” Ms. Ecker said in a news release. “However mandatory criminal back- ground checks will provide school boards with an addi- tional tool to assist them in creating more secure learning environments.” Despite the minister’s ef- forts to emphasize the Province isn’t pointing the fin- ger at teachers, many educa- tors believe that’s what’s oc- curring. “It somehow leaves the im- pression out there in the public that there’s something unto- ward happening,” said Jim Smith, president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’As- sociation. He said there is no evidence criminal activity by teachers is a problem. Mr. Smith referred to On- tario College of Teachers’ sta- tistics that show 29 teachers have had their licenses re- voked for criminal activity MARY BROWN Something public board has done for a long time. CITY HALL Nautical plan for Liverpool Village theme the choice for development in next 10 years BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer The Liverpool Road South area could be transformed into a nautical village over the next five to 10 years, community members heard at a public meeting Wednesday. “The theme was fairly ob- vious,” Catherine Rose, the City’s manager of policy, told a crowd of approximately 60 people during a meeting at the civic complex to gain input from the public on the pro- posed nautical village theme for the area of Liverpool Road south of Commerce Street. The City is in the middle of conducting a detailed review of the Liverpool Road South area in an effort to develop guidelines that will determine the design of new develop- ment near the waterfront. “Marina uses and (the ex- isting) Fairport Village (com- munity) are two things we want to key in on,” said con- sultant Mike Hubicki of TSH Associates. “This is what makes the Liverpool Road area so spe- cial.” Mr. Hubicki told the crowd there is a precedent in the community for a nautical theme, noting the study team wants to ensure “we don’t lose that connection with the water and our history.” In a presentation outlining the theme for the area, Mr. Hubicki showed community members photographs of the type of architectural details the team envisions being used COMMUNITY Volunteers needed to take museum way back in time PICKERING —The Pick- ering Museum Village Founda- tion is searching for volunteers to help raise funds to help re- store what is thought to be one of the oldest buildings in the city. The foundation has applied for a grant from the Ontario Heritage Challenge Fund to re- search the history of the Brougham Central Hotel and to restore the building, which may date back to the 1820s. “We had a study done last year with the idea of doing a normal restoration on the building,” said foundation chairman Pat Dunnill, who re- ported the hotel has been locat- ed at the museum village in Greenwood for about 20 years.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Despite some “sectional weaknesses”, Ontario’s econo- my is more diversified and bet- ter able to deal with a slowdown than it was in the recent past, Deputy Premier Jim Flaherty said Friday. The Whitby-Ajax MPP and Janet Ecker, Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MPP, were the guest speakers at the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade’s annual address of the MPPs, held at 180° Fine Restaurant in Scarborough. Dubbed “Durham’s dynamic duo” by board of trade past- president Doug Wilkinson, the local representatives touched on the economy, health care and education among other issues. Mr. Flaherty, recently ap- pointed deputy premier and fi- nance minister, said as the gov- ernment prepares its next bud- get “economic prosperity and jobs are the top priority”. He described Ontario as an “eco- nomic powerhouse”, and said it wasn’t in such a strong position five years ago. “It wasn’t an accident,” Mr. Flaherty said. “We got here be- cause some courageous deci- sions were made.” More than 800,000 jobs have been created in the Province since 1995, with the last two years the strongest job creation years ever, Mr. Flaher- ty noted. However, reflecting a slowing of the economy’s re- JIM FLAHERTY Prosperity ‘wasn’t an accident.

Although new vehicle sales and the high-tech sector have slowed, Mr. Flaherty says most economists peg Ontario’s eco- nomic growth at between two and three per cent this year. “I want to emphasize that this stable growth, it is also sustain- able growth in the long term,” said Mr. Flaherty. To help the economy continue growing, personal income tax cuts remain a key part of the government’s economic plan, he said. The government has also taken steps to reduce small busi- ness taxes, and is committed to lowering the manufacturing cor- porate income tax rate from 13 to eight per cent by 2005. Mr. Flaherty said tax cuts are essential if Ontario wants to be “competitive” with its nearest neighbours, such as Quebec and New York, which are also “our major competitors”. In an interview after his speech, Mr. Flaherty said he was not concerned a slowing econo- my will limit government rev- enue at a time when the Province is also committed to more tax cuts. “I think we’ve proven in Ontario since 1995 that if we re- duce taxes we will generate eco- nomic activity,” he said. With increased spending by consumers comes more revenue for the government in areas such as the retail tax and the gasoline tax, said Mr. Flaherty. “We need that revenue,” he said, noting that even with a “prudent” health-care budget, the government will still be spending more in that budget area this year. Ms. Ecker, the education min- ister and government house leader, said the rapid population growth in Durham Region pre- sents a “tremendous challenge” for all local residents to ensure the health-care infrastructure is here to deal with it. The government is working hard to expand funding for hos- pital services in the region, but the co-operation of all three lev- els of government is needed, she said. Because of the tough deci- sions the government has made, the Province spends $22 billion on health care, compared to $17.6 billion in 1995/96. The in- crease includes an extra $250 million for Durham Region. Ms. Ecker said the comple- tion of Hwy. 407 to Brock Road this year, a new highway inter- change at Pickering Beach Road in Ajax, and work proceeding on interchanges at Lakeridge and Stevenson roads “will greatly improve the access for business in this community” and for com- muters. “It’s of critical importance in terms of our ability... to attract and sustain growth... to have these highway corridors support- ing our quality of life,” she said. Mr. Flaherty referred to spending in areas like highway expansion as “prudent infrastruc- ture investments,” which govern- ments for a long time have failed to make. Referring to the Grade 10 lit- eracy test results, Ms. Ecker said they are “a wake-up call for those who said ‘none of these ed- ucation changes you’re bringing in are needed’.” Investments in areas such as early literacy and remediation are important in achieving what Ms. Ecker called her goal with all education reforms: improved student learning.

Local ministers say improved infrastructure a key to future growth Please recycle LOCAL from page 1 The sorry state of some taxis in Ajax and Pickering didn’t surprise those in- volved in a safety inspection blitz held last week. Of the 39 cabs inspected, only one- quarter passed without a fault. Five had major defects and were impounded until repairs could be made, while three were in such sad shape, the plates were re- moved and the cars towed away. Ten of the vehicles passed without faults, while five drivers failed to show and face charges under the Highway Traffic Act. The provincial Transportation Min- istry, the Durham Regional Police and the bylaw departments of Ajax and Pick- ering conducted the blitz, held Thursday at the police station in Pickering. Con- stable Phil Reed of the Durham Police said, “Anyone who’s driving in a taxi knows they’re not always in the best condition aesthetically. I’m surprised some passed. Aesthetically, they weren’t great, but they were mechanically sound.” Darlene Barker of Ajax bylaw ser- vices said, “For the most part, they were in better shape than the results from last year. All of ours we licence for Ajax had minor things and had to come back later that day. None from Ajax had their plates pulled.” John Wojnicz,manager of the Picker- ing bylaw department, said he wasn’t surprised with the results. “No, it was pretty normal.” He noted bylaw officer Fraser Copeland was on hand for the inspection and gave drivers 24 hours to have their vehicles repaired or the plates would be removed. Const. Reed added the Thursday ef- fort is part of an “ongoing blitz during the year. The bottom line is this isn’t a one-off deal. We’ll be going out and doing more inspections,” he said. “We had a few calls in from drivers in Os- hawa. They want inspections done there. They’ve had cars out and they don’t think they’re safe.” He noted the taxis requiring attention included such problems as a hand brake not working to a signal light out. “Seven were in the serious category. Seven were in the major category, and it’s a dis- claimer to those doing a good job in the industry.” Jerry Klimpel, the manager of Peo- ple’s Taxi, said all five of the company’s cars were checked and were found safe. The inspections also found four dri- vers not licensed to operate in Ajax or Pickering. Mr. Klimpel noted unlicensed drivers operating in the two communities has “always been a problem and hopefully, this will get them.” He also suggested checking of vehicles be increased from once a year to at least twice.

He noted the intent is also to cre- ate a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere with a variety of shops, cafes and of- fices located in buildings that will be situated close to the street to give the area the feel of an old village. “We see the theme of the nautical village starting at Liverpool Road and Bayly Street,” he said, noting the study team is proposing the use of signs at that intersection to attract traffic down to the waterfront. And, the City is in the midst of a project to ensure Pickering’s water- front will become a showpiece in the community, said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, who told the crowd council has given the green light for construction to begin on the second phase of the Millenni- um Square and Trail project. He said the area will become “a people place... something that accen- tuates our community.” However, while community mem- bers were generally in support of the vision the study team has developed, some residents expressed concerns about parking and traffic congestion for the area. “I like the theme, it’s very nice... I like how the design has come along,” said Paul Kelland, president of the Pickering East Shore Community As- sociation, in an interview. He added, “there are one or two design items that need some more enhancement.” Mr. Kelland said the current de- sign doesn’t accommodate bicycle traffic and doesn’t address the issue of parking adequately. “I’m still concerned with traffic congestion,” he said. David Steele, chairman of the Pickering Waterfront 2001 Mayor’s Task Force, is also concerned there won’t be enough parking for the peo- ple who want to use the area. “I have serious concerns about parking. I don’t think you’ve ad- dressed parking clearly,” he told the study team. Paul White, president of the Fair- port Beach Neighbourhood Associa- tion, suggested the City should con- sider restricting cars in the area south of Annland Street with the exception of some handicap accessible parking. “We really have to make a stand. Are you going to develop for the public or are you going to develop for vehicles?” he said. And, John Sabean of Heritage Pickering pointed out the area should be named the Great Lakes Nautical Village, noting any artifacts used in the area should be items that would have been found locally, not lobster traps from the Atlantic. “It should be Great Lakes materi- als rather than something foreign to the area,” he said. The next public meeting on the Liverpool Road South review is being held May 8 with the final de- velopment guidelines expected to go to council for consideration in June.

Study could cost up to $500,000 but will examine full history Please recycle During that assessment, “they un- covered some very surprising infor- mation on the history of the building,” he said. “It is deemed to be the home of a man called Peter Matthews, one of the leaders of the 1837 Rebellion (who was hanged for treason).” He said the museum has been run- ning educational programs for years about the Rebellion and Matthews’ role in it without “knowing his origi- nal home was actually sitting on the property”. He also said the building may date as far back as 1820, which would make it “the oldest standing building in Pickering”. The building was originally locat- ed at the corner of Hwy. 7 and Brock Road in the Village of Brougham and is thought to have been created around 1840 by amalgamating two separate structures, one of which may have been the home of Mr. Matthews and the other thought to have been a store built around 1826. The building operated as a hotel in the early 1850s when it was known as Temperance Hotel. The foundation has issued a re- quest for proposals to conduct an analysis of the history, architecture and archaeology of the building. And, when a firm is selected, they will also make recommendations for the restoration project, Mr. Dunnill said, noting the total cost of the study and restoration, which depends on the work completed, could range any- where from $350,000 to $500,000. That means the foundation needs to raise additional support in the com- munity, he said. Mr. Dunnill reported the benefits from a weekly bingo held Tuesday mornings at Delta Bingo in Pickering are currently donated to the founda- tion and helped to fund the recent re- construction of the Puterbaugh Schoolhouse at the museum village. “We get about $50,000 a year from the bingo,” he said. “Our biggest need at the present time is for volunteer bingo helpers. This is an opportunity to support the museum village and an important local architectural and his- torical building.” Volunteers for the four-hour shift do not need experience and do not have to work every week. Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to call 839-4672.

There are rough- ly 123,000 teachers in On- tario. “All the criminal activity occurred after they had en- tered the profession,” he said. Here in Durham, one of the higher profile cases in- volving a teacher in the past few years was that of Martin Hungerford. The French teacher at Dr. Robert Thorn- ton Public School in Whitby was found guilty of posses- sion of cocaine for the pur- pose of trafficking in June 1999. He was sentenced to six months in jail and two years probation. At that time he had a criminal record which included several con- victions for dishonesty and one for possession of hash oil in 1995. Mr. Hungerford shared an apartment with a known trafficker and allowed his room to be used as a “stor- age depot” for crack co- caine, said Judge Norm Ed- mondson of Ontario Court of Justice at the time of sen- tencing. Mr. Smith wondered what the next step would be if a check reveals a criminal history. “We don’t have a clue, and therein lies the prob- lem,” he said. “What do you do with a teacher who 10 or 15 years ago was convicted of possession of marijuana? Revoke their licence?” He also asked if volun- teers in schools, like a mom who accompanies a class to the museum, would require a criminal check. Mr. Smith called on the minister to consult with teachers about the issue, noting this has not taken place. “There are extensive screening checks of all new employees (by school boards),” said Earl Manners, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ federation. “To go through all employees based on the assumption that they’re guilty until proven innocent is an extreme disruption.” He said all school boards already require a criminal records check of new em- ployees, and those applying to a faculty of education to become a teacher must also provide a check. Criminal checks are not foreign to Durham’s school boards. “It’s something that the Durham (public) board has done for a long time,” said spokesman Mary Brown. The Durham District School Board has required a criminal background check as a condition of employ- ment of all employees hired since 1994. At the Durham Catholic District School Board, crim- inal background checks of new teachers have been a re- quirement since 1998, one year after checks were initi- ated for new non-teaching employees. Both boards have volun- teer policies and procedures that state a volunteer must provide a current criminal check if asked to do so by a principal. Ms. Ecker pointed out NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, March 14, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P Just the fax: 683-7363 Durham boards say background checks already done checks are no different from what oc- curs elsewhere where people work with children. At the Big Brothers Association of Ajax-Pickering, volunteer candidates must undergo a rigorous screening process. Four references are required, plus a police check and doctor’s reference to verify the candidate is emotionally sta- ble and has the physical ability to vol- unteer. Durham police will do a crimi- nal check on an employee for $20, while a volunteer check costs $10. DURHAM from page 1 Putt for cash March 22/01 WIN $200. 00 2 Durham locations to serve you better!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We must get it together on recycling To the editor: The amount of useful material in our ‘garbage’ has always amazed me. Now, due to rising energy costs and global warming, the plastics in the stream have in- creased in value. I think most peo- ple would tell you that after recy- cling, the remainder of their garbage is still plastic or com- postable. I am currently involved in a project that uses post-consumer plastics to produce a premium floor for the trucking industry and currently we are bringing the ma- terial in from Quebec. At times we have even been sourced from Europe. The average floor pro- duced requires a third of a tonne of plastic. That’s $50 saved from landfill costs, $60 commodity price for sorted plastics, 200 board feet of lumber or an equiva- lent amount of steel displaced (energy input and carbon consum- ing implications) and useful meaningful local investment and employment. That floor by the way is also 100 per cent recy- clable after its useful second life of 10 to 20 years! Now how much sense does it make that half-a-million con- sumers in Durham can’t recycle their plastics? Ian MacIntosh Eric Dowd a journalistic ‘gem’ To the editor: Re: ‘Eric Dowd’s views stuck in the distant past,’letter to the edi- tor, March 7. Peter Clendinneng’s negative comments about Eric Dowd’s Queen’s Park columns have raised my ire. Mr. Clendinneng, probably a staunch Tory supporter, may not have heard of the old saying, ‘Those who choose to ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.’ Mr. Dowd’s long history as a journalist and his amazing polit- ical memory, enable him to dig up facts and quotes from decades of Ontario politics, thus provid- ing fresh, new insights into today’s government. By compar- ing current provincial issues and politicians to those of the last few decades, he lets us draw our own conclusions as to how the current crop measures up to pre- vious ones. Unfortunately the comparison makes us all aware of the short- comings of the current govern- ment. Eric Dowd is simply the messenger; we draw our own conclusions. Let’s not shoot the messenger. Few other journalists provide such as historical perspective to current Ontario politics as does Mr. Dowd. How can we rate the performance of our government if we don’t have the facts, fig- ures and histories of the previous one? Our collective memories are so bad, that we need people like Mr. Dowd to remind us. I regularly supply copies of Mr. Dowd’s column to my polit- ical friends in Toronto who be- moan the fact they don’t receive them. I think we have a real journal- istic gem in Mr. Dowd and should consider ourselves lucky to have his columns in our com- munity paper. Long may he write. Ingrid Kern, Pickering EDITORIAL Safety is number one with our children Criminal background checks are a safety cushion worth exploring Anchors aweigh Nautical village a radical idea, but patience must prevail It’s hard to understand why someone whose profession it is to nuture children would be opposed to regulations which would help protect those same youth. But objection has been the order of the day for the Ontario Secondary Schools Teacher’s Federation in response to the criminal checks educators and support staff will be required to file under the Safe Schools Act starting in September. Earl Manners, president of the OSSTF, sees this move as another attack on his membership while Janet Ecker, who in- troduced this action this week, says union opposition to the government of the day is just par for the course. The em- broiled battle between the two would rival party leaders at Queen’s Park, each refusing to acknowledge when the other has an idea that carries some merit. That is the case this week. We believe the intent of this legislation isn’t to attack all teachers, but to help protect our children. Surely Mr. Manners can’t deny there have been in- cidents were teachers have abused their power. Jim Smith, president of the Ontario English Teachers’Association says most, if not all, cases that have before the College of Teach- ers have involved people with no criminal backgrounds. That was not the case in at least one local situation Martin Hungerford, a former French teacher at Dr. Robert Thornton Public School in Whitby, was found guilty of pos- session of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and sen- tenced to six months in 1999. At the time of the incident Mr. Hungerford had a criminal record which included several convictions for crimes of dishonesty, and one for possession of hash oil in 1995. If this new requirement weeds this type of individual from our education system then it’s worth the $20 Durham Regional Police charge for a criminal check. New staff already have to undergo background checks, so it’s vexing that the union would be against this form of stan- dardization. Social workers and early childhood education workers require similar checks and so should teachers. Unions seeing tenure as the sacred cow are completely ig- noring the rights of the students. What the Province must provide to avoid any confusion are guidelines outlining what previous criminal convictions are grounds to affect one’s status as an educator. Mr. Manners points out that it’s the teachers who often feel threatened in the classroom, and we agree that no teacher should have to endure verbal or physical abuse. But that concern requires its own set of rules and does not absolve the need for safety checks in environments where adults are dealing with children. Waterfront cafes, lakeside offices and a variety of shops — all with the appeal and charm of an old-world village — and all within Pickering. The images alone are enough to drive the anticipation level to new heights in the city. And Pickering is on the path to making this ‘nautical village theme’ a reality over the next five to 10 years. The future of the waterfront has been discussed for years. It’s only in the last few years though — the creation of the ‘Millennium Square and Trail’comes to mind — that the City has truly begun to cultivate the area for the trea- sure it is. While the ongoing work at the square and along the trail will no doubt attract city and Durham residents alike, the potential boom to Pickering should the nautical village be- come a reality is staggering. A pedestrian-friendly lakeside village with shopping, eateries and other attractions would charm visitors from not only Durham and Ontario, but across the country. And that would be fantastic news for the city. But, it’s important that council continue to use foresight and patience in the coming months when working toward making the plan a reality. The Liverpool Road South area review, which fashioned the nautical idea, is ongoing and there’s still time for pub- lic input and discussion. Some concerns have been identi- fied and no doubt others will arise. There are also separate residential development proposals still to be addressed for the area. The concept is exciting, certainly, but much work lies ahead. It’s going to take political leadership to ensure the wa- terfront vision is made a reality in the first attempt.

When is someone in public of- fice too old for the job? The ques- tion, which has sensitive social and political ramifications, has been raised by the resignation under pressure of the legislature’s integrity commissioner, Robert Rutherford. Mr. Rutherford, 78, has a prior record as a judge and commission- er into the behaviour of the Cana- dian military peacekeeping force in Somalia that is impeccable. He had written a report exoner- ating Progressive Conservative Premier Mike Harris of allegations he promoted an abandoned mine in northern Ontario as a dump for Toronto’s garbage to benefit friends. A newspaper reported the commissioner appeared vague and contradictory in answering its questions and admitted he called on an unidentified friend, not for the first time, to help write his rul- ing and when asked why he used an outsider, replied “maybe it’s because I’m getting old.” Opposition parties are con- cerned the friend may have been someone sympathetic to Mr. Har- ris and shaped the ruling favourably toward him. A govern- ment spokesman acknowledged the commissioner had some health problems and an opposition MPP who had had contacts with him said he appeared confused. At the same time federal Liber- al finance minister, Paul Martin, who is 62, was fighting off sug- gestions he is too old to succeed Prime Minister Jean Chretien, when or if he retires or is pushed out. Mr. Martin will be 65 by the time another election is likely, but he maintained age is not a ques- tion of the number of years a per- son has lived, but whether the per- son looks ahead instead of back and what he can still accomplish. In another of the rare cases in which age has been raised, shortly before the 1999 election won by Mr. Harris, Liberal MPP Monte Kwinter, 66 at the time, was ac- cused by supporters of another Liberal MPP, Annamarie Castrilli, who was competing to run for the party in the same riding after their own had been merged, of being too old for the job. Mr. Kwinter, a former con- sumer relations minister who would be on any list of the most sensible, reliable MPPs, retorted he is usually in his office by 7:30 a.m., long before most members, and works long hours and age should not be held against politi- cians unless it can be shown it ad- versely affects their performances. Riding Liberals enthusiastically endorsed this stand at a nomina- tion meeting. There were times when age was not considered remotely a handicap. Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, died in office at 76 and Louis St. Laurent was 66 when he became prime minister and won an elec- tion at 71. Winston Churchill was still Britain’s prime minister at 81. For North Americans, youth and youthful looks became almost essential attributes for political leaders when John F. Kennedy captured imaginations as president of the United States four decades ago. There have been a number of odd exceptions. Ronald Reagan was president until the age of 78 and while many would quarrel with him, it would be over his policies and not a lack of grasp of his job. As examples of usefulness at a later age, Alan Greenspan, chair- man of the Federal Reserve, who controls U.S. interest rates and is often called the most powerful man in the world, celebrated his 75th birthday a few days ago. And Mitchell Sharp, a minister in those long ago days when Lester Pear- son was prime minister, at 89 is still a senior adviser to the elec- torally successful Mr. Chretien and travels with him around the world. People also are living and vot- ing longer and it is conceivable be- fore long many more older people will run for office and woe betide any politician who appears to dis- parage anyone because of age. Some of them have experience that would be useful to political parties today. If Mr. Harris for example had more in his cabinet or caucus who recalled the 1970s, when another Tory premier, William Davis, had to back off plans for amalgama- tions and regional governments because they offended voters and cost him seats, he would have avoided antagonizing many voters with similar policies today. Clearly there are and will be some older people who like the in- tegrity commissioner suffer health problems that are more prevalent with age and have to forgo oppor- tunities for public office as he did. But there are also a majority of older people who still have good health and constitute a vast re- source of experience and wisdom and this is something government would be unwise to lose or offend. Some politicians get better with age Older representatives offer experience and wisdom Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park E-mail your comments on this opinion to steve.houston@durham- news.net. YOU SAID IT The question was: What is your reaction to the fact almost one-third of Ontario’s Grade 10 students failed last fall’s literacy test? Jeffrey Newberry said, “The standards for the tests are way too high... They should use the test to build the new curricu- lum for the up- coming students, not punish them with it.” Melissa Jones said,“I think it’s unacceptable. My friend took the test and passed. She said if you study and pay attention, you’ll pass.” Sarah Newberry said, “I think it’s dis- appointing for the students... The new kids should go through the re- formed upgrad- ed system before having to pass another exam.” OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT 24 Hour Access 420-4660 cityofpickering.com420-2222 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL For more information on meeting times, locations or committee details please call 905-420-2222 March 26 Executive/City Council Meeting March 22 March 21 March 19 Executive Committee Meeting Committee of Adjustment Statutory Information Meeting ARTFEST ON THE ESPLANADE 2001 The City of Pickering, Culture and Recreation Division in co- operation with the PineRidge Arts Council will once again bring Artfest to Pickering’s Esplanade Park.

On Feb. 6, Rogers Cable launched Interactive TV, be- coming the first cable compa- ny in Canada to provide a ser- vice regarded as the future of television. In a nutshell, Interactive TV allows viewers to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, shop the World Wide Web and even do banking on- line. Basically, services that were previously available to computer users are now avail- able on a television set. “Phase One of Rogers In- teractive TV is an entry level service geared specifically to people who do not have Inter- net access at home and who want to use the basic Internet services of e-mail and Web browsing,” said Earl Dusek, vice president and general manager of Rogers Cable GTA East. “We are delighted to be the first to bring this service to our customers.” Rogers Interactive TV is based on Microsoft’s Web TV Networks’technology and part of an agreement between Mi- crosoft and Rogers to deliver enhanced TV services via dig- ital cable. “There are many more ap- plications to come in the months ahead,” Mr. Dusek said. “For now, we are supplying the basic functions like e-mail and surfing the Net.” Interactive TV is available to Rogers digital cable service subscribers. The only additional equip- ment required is a wireless keyboard. The service allows customers to set up to six e- mail boxes and create a per- sonal home page on the World Wide Web. “This service is not for everyone,” admitted Mr. Dusek, adding communication and download speeds are in the 56 kilobytes per second range and significantly slower than those available through regular cable modem. “But for someone who does not own a computer, this allows Internet access without the need to pur- chase a computer.” For more information on Rogers Interactive TV, call 1- 888.ROGERS1.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, March 14, 2001 PAGE 9 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER March 14, 2001 Something special indeed Erin Rynberk wins figure skating gold, silver medals at Winter Games in Alaska BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —An Ajax teen skated her way on to the medal podium not once, but twice, at the 2001 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Anchorage, Alaska this past week. Erin Rynberk, 14, a member of the Ajax Shooting Stars Figure Skat- ing Club, captured a gold medal in the level I ladies’ solo dance while also placing second and earning a silver medal in the level V ladies’ free skate event. “She had the skates of her life,” said her coach Nancy Cranswick who, along with several members of Erin’s family, accompanied her to Alaska. “She did an excellent job. She couldn’t have skated any better. I was just so proud of her. I was cry- ing half way through her program.” Erin, who is mentally delayed, was one of 1,700 athletes from 69 countries to compete at the Games, which began March 4 and ended this past Sunday, March 11. The talented figure skater was chosen last year for the Canadian team on the strength of a tremendous 2000 season in which the teen win gold medals in the level IV solo free skate and level I dance events at the 2000 Canadian Special Olympics Winter Games in Ottawa last Janu- ary. Cranswick, who attended the World Games four years ago while a coach at a Scarborough skating club, said she hoped Erin would be good enough to compete for a medal. And, although the competition had im- proved considerably from four years ago, her protégé was equal to the challenge. “I had been there four years ago and I knew she had a chance for a medal. When we got to Alaska and we saw some of the practice ses- sions, I was a little worried. The competition was very close.” She was completely in control in her level I solo dance routine, skat- ing with confidence en route to her wire-to-wire victory. She was first after her first skate and held her poise through the second skate to finish with the gold. Kathryn Lind- gren of the U.S. won the silver and Alicia Zeitz, also of the U.S. won bronze. The competition in the level V ladies free skate event consisted of two components: elements and free skate. Erin was fourth after the ele- ments, but it was her free skate that propelled her to the silver. Cran- swick noted a second- or a third- place score in elements would have surely given her another gold medal as she was the best skater in the free skate portion of the event. “She did win the free skate hands down. She excels in her jumps and spins. The judges were very im- pressed with her spins,” said Cran- swick. “She really impressed the crowd.” Cranswick was struck by the strong calibre of skating at the worlds. “The competition has improved greatly from four years ago. They’re already thinking about expanding the competition to a level VI. There’s a good possibility that they’ll revamp the rules as the skating has become so much better,” she said. Cranswick noted Erin was fully prepared to compete on the world stage. The duo worked together al- most every day since Christmas both on ice and off in preparation for their trip to Anchorage. And, all the hard work paid off. “She should be very proud of her- self. To come home with two medals was special,” she said. The athletes and coaches enjoyed both outstanding facilities as well as hospitality outside of the competi- tion while in Anchorage, said Cran- swick. “It was very well run and very well laid out,” she said of the Games. “They couldn’t do enough for the athletes and for the coaches too.” The Games came complete with an opening and closing ceremony, with Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger on hand for the opening ceremonies.

PICKERING —Despite being the fastest qualifier in the preliminary heats, Pickering hurdler Perdita Feli- cien had to settle for silver against a familiar rival at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Arkansas last weekend. Running in the women’s 60-metre hurdles for the University of Illinois, Felicien finished second in a time of 8.00 seconds in the final to Ohio State hurdler Donica Merriman. The national championships were at the University of Arkansas in Fayet- teville. It was the second one-two finish for Merriman and Felicien of the sea- son as they finished in the exact same order in the event at the Big Ten Con- ference Indoor Track and Field Championships earlier this month. The Illinois freshman earned All- America honours for the third time in her collegiate career with her silver- medal-winning performance at the nationals. The second-place finish was the highest for an Illinois athlete at the indoor nationals since 1996. The Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate was the fastest qualifier for the finals after running her prelimi- nary heat in a time of 7.99. It was a personal best time and a new Illinois school record. The Canadian Olympian has broken the school record an incredible six times during this indoor track and field season. Felicien’s silver medal helped the Fighting Illini women’s track team to a 12th-place finish at the national showcase. The indoor track season has been one of superlatives for Felicien. She was twice named the Big Ten Confer- ence’s women’s track and field ath- lete of the week. She was also named the conference’s rookie of the year for women’s indoor track.PERDITA FELICIEN League looking to Flag down football players PICKERING —A golden effort at the Canadian Legion Track and Field Championships has earned a Pickering athlete a national award.

Lasco reaches deal with workers Three-hundred workers back to work by April 1 The lockout by Co-Steel Lasco that kept 460 workers on the picket line since Dec. 18 has ended with an agree- ment ratified Sunday in Os- hawa. In a hastily called meet- ing, 288 members of the United Steelworkers Local 6571 voted in favour of the three-year agreement that will see pensions improved and wages increased through cost-of-living ad- justments (COLA). Seven- ty-eight voted against the deal, which will see em- ployees being recalled over the next nine months. The first group will re- turn to work on March 19, and a total of 300 by April 1. That still leaves some 150 to be recalled, said local Local 6571 president Denis Kavanagh, noting the com- pany has until Dec. 2 to do so. “Acceptance of the deal was contingent on these em- ployees being eligible for federal employment insur- ance benefits,” he said. “We’re not going to aban- don them. Until they suc- ceed in getting EI the picket line will remain.” Mr. Kavanagh said the plan also provides an addi- tional $150 a week for the first three months for those workers who do not return to work immediately, $175 a week for the next three months, and $200 a week for the last three months. The agreement addresses attrition by providing a win- dow for early retirement. Employees who retire be- tween now and Aug. 31 will receive an incentive to- talling $30,000 ($10,000 in each of three years). As well, employees reaching the 30-year mark will be able to retire with an unre- duced pension if they leave during this period. “Neither side got all that it wanted, but the new con- tract will be advantageous for those of our members who are close to retire- ment,” said Mr. Kavanagh. “It sure beats picket pay.” The labour dispute inten- sified a few weeks ago when Lasco put out the call for 200 replacement work- ers. After the union indicated it wasn’t going to allow the replacements to be ferried through the picket line, Lasco applied for an injunc- tion. After several days of hearings, both sides agreed to a one-week cooling-off period to allow for the re- sumption of contract talks. “The agreement address- es the downturn in the steel industry without jeopardiz- ing our members’ futures,” said Wayne Fraser, assistant to the USW’s Ontario/At- lantic director, Harry Hynd. “The lockout was a tremendous hardship for workers, but their solidarity meant we were able to ne- gotiate a decent agreement with the company.” The lockout started Dec. 18 after months of negotia- tions following the expiry of the old contract in February 2000. The new deal runs until Feb. 27, 2004. The locked-out Steel- workers got a lift late last week from all units of CAW Local 222, which took up a gate collection for the work- ers on Thursday. Local 222 president Mike Shields and financial secretary Terry Spence handed over a cheque for $15,000 to Mr. Kavanagh, and other Local 6571 officials, Carlo Ca- mazzola, Brian Van Volken- burg and John McLean. Get ready for visit from enviro bunny Easter visitor needs a change to keep up with the times Each of the almost 8,000 items in the average supermarket is elaborately packaged to entice shop- pers to buy it. Most of these packages are used once and then thrown away. A concern about over- packaging and the efforts that some west coast su- permarkets are making to retrieve product packaging was the topic on the CBC program ‘Marketplace’ Feb. 28. Part of the taping was done in Ajax at Brian and Karen’s No Frills store on Bayly Street. And not a moment too soon, as this month the Easter bunny sits silently encased await- ing parents to make their impressive display on Easter morning. Even though our garbage issue has been in the public eye for over 10 years, very little has been done to streamline season- al purchases. Your power of purchase and willingness to call manufacturers of Easter candy that comes in large blister packages could change the way the bunny makes an appearance next year. We are also a society that sends Easter greeting cards. As we recycle all our paper in Durham’s blue box collection pro- gram, we must support cards that use this re- source. Ten years ago I called a leading card company to ask when they would be using post-consumer paper for their cards and wrap- ping paper. The answer I received was probably next year. Ten years later, it still has not happened. One can also voice an opinion to manufacturers of boxed chocolates and jelly beans to see if the light plastic forms mould- ed to keep chocolates sep- arated could be made from an edible wafer or pulp paper such as egg cartons so that they could be com- posted. Without eggsaggera- tion, ears what the Easter bunny of the new decade has to do: • Talk to your children about Earth Week, recy- cling, and in particular... packaging. Note that the larger the package, the less amount that will fit on a truck for delivery, hence more pollution to trans- port; • Hop to the retailers with your own reusable bags; • Look for the recycling logo indicating the pack- age was made from recy- cled content; • Choose candy treats in minimal packaging that can be recycled in your blue box; • Remove any twist ties and open and flatten boxes for recycling; • Compost Easter flow- ers after they have wilted. If you do not have a com- poster, simply place them somewhere in your yard; and • Before buying a greet- ing card, check that it was made from recycled paper, or just make a phone call instead. The Easter bunny has a huge role in raising soci- ety’s collective environ- mental conscience. The fu- ture belongs to ‘R’ chil- dren. If you care enough to send the very best, then you should care enough to change corporate attitudes and help shape the percep- tion that bigger is not nec- essarily better.
